I cannot believe i'm writing another weekly email. It actually blows my mind how quickly this week went. Everyone says that time on the mission is the weirdest thing but it actually it actually is. Classes feel so long and like sometimes I sit there and literally look at my watch watching the seconds go by but then every night I look back on my day and i'm like geesh where did my day even go. Couple of new things that happened this week: Like 120 missionaries left so now their are only 29 of us in the MTC. The place is a ghost town right now. Its actually really fun though because all the guys that are here are like my best friends. We should be getting more missionaries in in a couple days, i'm really excited to welcome all of them and be the veterans one here at the MTC. Today the surprised us and gave us new companions which was a nice surprise. Having a companion all the time is still something that i'm getting used to and something that i'm not the biggest fan of yet but I know we have them for a reason and i'm thankful for that. My new companions name is Elder Livingston though and hes super cool. We are more alike than Elder Brockbank and I were which is fun. French is slowly getting better. I would get absolutely destroyed if I went to Cote d"Ivoire right now. I can pretty much teach some lessons ( very poorly), ask how you're doing and ask where you're from. I've also memorized some things like the first vision, Moroni 10: 4-5 etc... Sunday I went to my last English sacrament meeting for 2 years. Oh how I will miss English. I'm still Zone Leader right now and i'm honestly hoping they release me because I don't know how to speak french and we are moving to the french branch with all the native speakers. Pretty much the next 3 weeks are going to be the last 3 weeks all over again but with french headsets on. All the same devotionals and everything just with headphones. It'll be a struggle but good. I'm excited for this next week because we get to go proselyting in Accra and then also we get to welcome the new elders in on Thursday. Another change is when they shuffled around the companionship they shuffled the districts and classes and so Ben got moved into my class! Also Elder Livingston and I have an extra 2 beds in our room so I invited Ben and his Comp over for a sleepover. hahahahaha I'm hyped it'll be fun. We work so hard here but its honestly good because it keeps me focused on why we are here. This week we talked a lot about the restoration and the book of Mormon. I feel like I have questioned everything I know so much but at the same time I feel like everything I know has been strengthened so much. I have learned so much more and it has made my testimony so much stronger. Every day I thank heavenly father for this opportunity I have to be on a mission I have learned so much about the church and myself. Its hard but I love it!
Love you all,
- Elder Freedman
Not any pictures this week but ill have more next week I promise!
